Do you have any idea what he stands for or what his policy ideas are? I believe in principles before personalities. I see many who claim they want to vote for a candidate because he seems like a good guy.
Also I don't think in terms of "middle". Either you are for the democratic platform or you're not. After reading all the policy polls I see how more unites us than divides us. If by "cushy middle" you mean let's not be bold or rush things then say goodbye to the planet, to uniting the nation by going to renewable energy and rebuilding our infrastructure thereby creating jobs. Immigration needs bold immediate action as does health care because it causes death and suffering without bold immediate action. Few of our candidates have been fighting for this their entire careers but most recognize the need and some propose immediate action. All on board

primary today, I would vote for:
